Total MLS® residential sales dollar volume was $6.84 billion, up 0.1 per cent from the same time the previous year. BC MLS® unit sales were 18.4 per cent lower than the ten-year average for the month of June.

“Sales rose year-over-year in June for the first time since September 2025, driven by stronger activity in the Greater Vancouver area,” said BCREA Chief Economist Brendon Ogmundson. “We hope this marks the beginning of a stronger second half of the year across BC housing markets as sales converge to more normal levels following several years of unexpected global shocks.”

Year-to-date, BC residential sales dollar volume is down 6.4 per cent to $31.96 billion, compared with the same period in 2025. Residential unit sales are down 5.4 per cent year-over-year at 33,886 units, while the average MLS® residential price is also down 1.1 per cent to $943,249.
